This conference is organized by a consortium of universities in Stockholm. Therefore, the conference moves to a new campus each day in order to offer the participants the chance to view and enjoy the characteristics of the contributing universities.
This means that you will be travelling to different parts of Stockholm during your stay in June. We wish to make this as easy and comfortable as possible. We have put together a travel manual for you, one page presents the campus and possible travel alternatives for each day. Have a look and rest assured, you will find your way to the campuses of the universities!
